Known for its superb design, premier playing conditions, and outstanding service, Dub’s Dread is a local favorite and a must-play for area visitors. Originally built as the longest golf course in the world at 8,101 yards, the course plays a bit shorter now with yardages ranging from 5,200 yards to as long as 7,200 yards for a more appealing round. The one-of-a-kind, natural layout features majestic trees lining each fairway. A series of lakes wind among unique holes with their exceptionally large, undulating greens. Dub’s Dread is a course that will provide a memorable and enjoyable experience for all who play it.

Ranked the toughest hole on the course, #3 is a test for all golfers. After playing your tee ball short of the creek, players are faced with a long and uphill second shot (+9 slope adjustment). A large and undulating green complex doesn’t help matters either as players finish up this hole.

Hole #4 is the first of four par 3’s during the round. The number one rule on this hole is do not go long. A top tier in the back of the green can make pin seeking a risk-reward option. Play for the middle of the green and happily accept a two putt for a routine par.

A sloping right to left par 4, Hole #5 is all about the tee ball. It is critical to hit the fairway on the tee shot, as left or right will give you tree trouble to an uphill green. Expect your tee shot to release down the fairway for a short second shot into the green.

Hole #6 can be interchanged with #3 as the hardest hole on the course as well. This big dogleg left gives trouble to all golfers. Want to play it safe and lay up at the corner? You’d be looking at 220 yards in for your second shot. A par is a bonus on this difficult par 4.

Hole #7 is a dogleg right par 5 that features two blind shots. Favor the left side of the fairway off the tee, as everything slopes left to right. The key to this hole is getting over the 120 yard hill in two. This will allow an easier approach to a downhill green surrounded by bunkers.

A straightforward par 3, the green complex on #8 makes for an exciting adventure. Do not miss left on the approach, as your chip shot will be difficult to gauge no matter where the pin is at. If the pin is on the front, use the slope to your advantage.

As we finish up the front, #9 is a great test to your accuracy in all phases. A dogleg right, it is difficult to find the fairway. Adjust for the uphill second shot, as the green doesn’t offer much depth. Come up short, and you’ll likely find the deep front bunkers where long can result in a tricky chip.

Hole #10 takes you back down the hill for a straightforward, short par 4. One of the easier holes to manage, take advantage and keep the ball in play. Adjust for a little bit of release on the approach shot, as the green complex likes to run towards the surrounding pond.

Hole #11 – The hardest par 3 on the course. Two yards left of the green on your approach and your ball will find the hazard. The long and undulating green complex will require difficult putting conditions depending on the pin position. Buckle down and hit a good one to escape with a par!

This beautiful par 5 is a risk-reward, downhill dogleg left that offers a creek all up the left side. Hug the corner off your tee ball and you’ll be left with a chance at going for the green in two. Bail out right and you’re looking at a daunting second shot with water left and hazard right.

Hole #13 offers a variety of options off the tee. Ideally, the best play is to layup to the 150 yard marker, as the tee ball presents OB left and water right. Club up on the approach shot, as the second shot always plays longer than anticipated towards the smaller green.

A blind tee shot, play for your tee ball to just carry the hill. Favor the left side off the tee, as your ball with bound forward and right after landing. The approach shot can be a guessing game with the drastic slope change.

A dogleg left par 4, aim for the 150 yard marker off the tee. Left is no good, as there is a hidden pond surround by tall trees. The green has a small false front, so make sure to carry the distance on the approach.

Hole #16 is the last par 3 on the course. The yardage plays a little longer than expected so adjust by half a club. A miss to the right will leave you most likely into the pond. Green slopes back to front, so be careful going long to a front pin.

Hole #17 is a great par 5 down the stretch. Bombers can carry the trees right of the corner and leave themselves with an iron for an approach in two. However, OB right can come into play, especially if your tee ball gets caught up in the trees. Favor the left side on your second shot, as it opens up for your third.

Final hole of the day – a straightfoward par 4. Left off the tee will leave you tree blocked. Find the fairway and you’ll have an uphill second. Be mindful of where the pin is, as long or left to a back pin is a difficult up and down.
